- Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to get a pure-breeding purple plant by constructing a purple protein by understanding how the DNA sequence of a pigment protein gene determines the phenotype of the protein produced.
- Methods: Firstly I launched the Aipotu website and in the 'Genetics' section, I went to the 'Greenhouse' on the right hand side and self-crossed each of the four original organisms to get all of the colors. Once a new color was discovered I would click on the color and click 'add' above the greenhouse to add the new color. I then switched to the 'Molecular Biology' tab on the right hand side and clicked on the different organisms, then used the 'compare' function on the upper left hand side to compare the DNA sequences. (Insert method to construct a pure-breeding purple organism). Lastly, I went to the 'Biochemistry' tab on the upper left hand side and entered "MLVKEIAMYRFATHER" in the amino acid sequence space and presses 'Fold' to make the purple protein.
